Halloween party at the NITECAP. Great band and a wonderful time!
Julie U.

There is everything to love about this place. Wonderful owners, delicious cocktails, live music and good food trucks on many weekends. The regular patrons are really nice people. There's two pool tables for those who like to play. If you're in the Verdi area, this is the best place to hang out!

Beer, gaming, pool, darts, good drinks

I love Nitecap! The vibe is amazing. It's clean and cozy. They have two pool tables, a dart board, giant Jenga, karaoke on Saturday, live bands Friday, and much more to come for the summer months! Also Pauli is a phenomenal bartender

My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

I'm battling this review. I battle rating it for the drinks/ambiance versus the service. The good:…read moreabsolutely the cutest vibe and decor. Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

There were a couple bachelorette parties there when we went. The decor is gorgeous with all the chandeliers and dark aesthetic. Daniel was our server/bartender and he was awesome. Super friendly, attentive, and made really good cocktails. The heavenly mac and cheese was unreal, the Caesar salad was fresh with that giant parmesan crisp on top, and the filet mignon with truffle fries was SO good. Everything tasted high quality without feeling overly pretentious. Definitely one of those spots you go to for the food but stay for the whole vibe."

He had a list of songs to choose from and they're all country slow version so don't expect an upbeat pop song. The popular most requested songs were listed at $20 like Wonderwall. He was nice to let our group sing as if it was karaoke. Keep in mind there were speakers outside on the side walk! For drinks, they have a list of craft cocktails like a coffee section, sippers, beer, mocktails. We ordered: Noel's Espresso Martini - delicious! Cafe Bamboo - Japanese whiskey Bonito - one of the first 3 on the menu that's sweet. This was very pineapple. Bananas in Nola - this is a sipper drink w 100 proof rye whiskey Elixir of the month - coffee old fashion The decor and vibe is very prohibition. During the day, they have a cafe for coffee, lattes and matcha w pastries. The beautiful velvet blue coaches are for reserved parties or first come first serve if no one reserved it. I would recommend to reserve otherwise you'll be at the bar.

Clean, balanced, exactly what I was hoping for first thing in the morning. First espresso shot wasn't great. Something was off in extraction. To their credit, they pulled a second as a consolation and it was definitely better. Not perfect, but improved. I appreciated the effort. The space is kind of cutesy, kind of silly in a charming way. Apothecary vibes, playful decor, not taking itself too seriously. Overall enjoyed the coffee and the scene. I'd come back, probably for another pour over.

I've been going here and make great memories since their first location I believe they opened in 2017. I've been to a lot of different arcade bars across California and this one's my favorite! The vibes now are even better than before the whole setups just pure fun!! The best adult arcade I've been to in a long time! Drinks are strong, games are epic, pinball always fun, and you leave with not that bad of a dent in your wallet! These guys crush it I noticed they are constantly changing out the pinball games and other video arcade games. Couches to chill on by the bar with mario kart built into the coffee tables and pool table not far away! There's old and new games all over the place hard to stay bored here! Also love the staff here always friendly and welcoming they also crush it here super hard to keep up a place like this so tell your friends and support these guys and don't forget to tip the wonderful staff!! Always a great time here, come down support your local businesses and smash some buttons with some friends or family but remember leave the kids at home 21+ only. ;)

The energy of this place is unmatched. It's fun, lively, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The games, the vibe, and the overall atmosphere make it easy to lose track of time in the best way possible. Ted and John are truly fantastic. They, along with the rest of the staff, go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience, and it shows in every detail. Whether you're visiting Reno for the first time or you live here full-time, this spot is a must. I recommend Press Start every chance I get and will absolutely continue to come back. Thank you, Press Start, for consistently delivering such a fun and memorable experience.
